Energ y harvesting in wireless sensor networks leads to an interesting optimization problem: Given the spatial temporal distribution of the energ y harvested, how can nodes adapt their consumption to reach energ y neutral operation, i.e., consume exactl y the harvested amount of energ y .Adapting the energ y consumption of an y node in the network requires control of the data flow routed through that node b y arbitrar y other nodes. This calls for flow control, which was mostl y investigated for field monitoring networks in the past. Pertinent publications are usuall y based on simulations or artificial lab studies, results hardl y carr y over to the real world.In this paper, we present C-SDF, the first Con tiki imple mentation of an y solar-aware distributed flow control approach.DifTerent runs on two distinct testbed sites show an outstanding performance. Even under adverse network conditions, the sam pling rate stabilizes quickl y . Energ y utilization is more than 80%, while ensuring no node is overloaded.
